Game Thread: WW LXXXVI - The Halls of Mandos

[Mithalwen]

Oh we have moved on from the days when the possibility of same sex lovers cause massed attacks of the vapours from people who didn't seem at all bothered by the prospect of incestuos ones I am now tempted to ask all sorts of impertinent questions about your step ma but I shall quench my curiosity.

My vapours, my vapours they are acting up!

Well, in my case I voted Nog before Agan posted (okay, technically after, but it was a cross post), so as you can tell, I was following my own judgment that said not to trust him, and that was validated by further events (ie: Agan, who we'd already decided to basically trust due to the fact that we'll know tomorrow if she's lying, so it wouldn't make sense for her to lie).

Also, I suspect that if Agan was lying about the lover thing, there would have been a much more exaggerated spate of Dead Thread posts in which Shasta spazzed out one way or another.

So basically, I would cast your vote for Nog.

But I'd also like to see you... you know... form your own opinion instead of basing your decisions on what others tell you. It's not like I know any more than anybody else.

Yeah! Great point. You see kids, that slightly sad hopeless Adam and Eve staring through locked gate attitude to the Dead Thread is useful after all...

DNA was discovered because it cast a shadow. Just because I can't look at the thing (the contents of the dead thread) doesn't mean I can't look at the shadow (who posted, how many times, and when).

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Which is, by the way:

Shasta 29
Manwe 12
Rikae 9
Mac 1

Um, Fea, maybe posting the links to the posts is a bit much?

Edit: Ah, I see you've taken them out already.

I hit copy/paste and didn't realize I was linking to the posts until I submitted the reply. All better.

Another great asset is that phantom looks golden - but if the wolves kill him, Nogrod will be a pariah in the Dead Thread. Now it's the wolves who have to make the tough calls...

Oh, but can you imagine the bickering that would go on between the two of them once dead?

[Nogrod]

So remember guys, the phantom is a cobbler

You will lose Agan anyway.



You should think how easily people voted toDay... who initiated, who followed and how?

Boro, Mith, Ang, Greenie - people you should be wary of...

[Nogrod]

You've just lost the lovers and the seer. Lynch the ranger next. Really...

[Rikae]

Cold and lonely was the day for Beren Camlost (apart from the occasional heated argument with the Elves), and he longed for the company of his sweet Tinúviel. Yet she was gone, not to return for many an age. In his tormented dreams Beren pleaded to Mandos, the Lord of the Dead, bid him to let Lúthien stay with him just one more day, and it seemed to him as if the Vala was answering him:

"Thingol's daughter indeed shall return to the living and remain with you and your companions for one more day. But then you both shall return to my halls to dwell here until your spirits are healed."

"In the meantime, your love and her fellow dead wish to give to you, as a sign of their trust, to have your vote doubled in your quest to slay the evil that has beset you."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the day progressed, no clear bandwagon emerged... there was no one person, it seemed, who looked particularly evil, no one person on whom many could agree; Boromir, Wilwa, phantom and Nessa each received one vote, while nine elves pointed to Nogrod. Tension was high. The lynch hung by a thread.

"As time here..." Nogrod began, then coughed: "I mean, I am the seer. Aganzir is indeed Beren. phantom is a phabbler."

"No, I'm not Beren - I'm Lúthien!" laughed Aganzir, pulling off her false beard.

Nogrod contined to stare fixedly in the other direction, mumbling something about helping from the halls of Mandos.
"He's lying! Kill him!" shouted the others. Not nine, but ten arrows struck the bewildered looking Nogrod in the
back. The tenth was Aganzir's, and it could be argued that it was absolutely essential.

Nogrod fell to his knees, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "You will have to beg me to reveal my dreams!" he
cried.

"Actually, I was Beren all along" Aganzir added, pulling off his false chin and revealing a beard. "Not that it matters."

When the company turned back toward their campsite, they noticed that one of their number was missing without a trace.
Perhaps Blind Guardian had also gone to Mandos; time would only tell if her voice would be heard there.
